Chitkara Business School is a world in itself. The learning curve is just mind boggling. The overall development with “The Series of Expert Guest Lectures” along with such a strong Academic curriculum is second to none. The transition from College to Corporate is seamless because by the time we graduate, we are completely Industry Ready. Currently, I am working as Business Manager with Oracle. My stint at Chitkara made me learn to easily adapt to the time frame of the Working Space. From Chitkara Business School to Oracle – The journey is so fulfilling & enriching. I am extremely thankful to Chitkara Alumni Network for adding on the flavour to this journey.

If I may say so, I was born in Nepal but Chitkara in India shaped me for this diverse Globe. It couldn’t have been better than that as Chitkara is the place to learn the ways of the World. My three years tenure of Bachelors of Computer Applications prepared me well for this ever-evolving Technical Era. Currently, I am pursuing MBA from ACE Institute of Management in Nepal and have been chosen as Brand Ambassador of that University and all this I owe to my learning at my Alma Mater. I am a proud Alumni of Chitkara and also proud to be the face of Chitkara in Nepal. Thanks CAN for connecting and taking us down the memory lanes.

As I stepped into the realm of Chitkara Business School after my graduation, it was an altogether different & exceptional world of education & learning. From QUESTions to Chitkara Mandi, from Surveys to Expert Guest Lectures – it was 360degree of development circle that just brought out the best in each one of us and made us what we are today. Today, I am working as Loyalty Program Manager with Maruti Suzuki and looking forward to excelling in my domains with immense knowledge gained at CBS. Thanks to my Alma Mater and also to Chitkara Alumni Network for adding great memories to our journey of life with such strong & dynamic Network.

Chitkara gave me confidence to conquer the world. Chitkara Faculty stood by me during those trying times when I was all set to quit, and then there was no looking back. After having graduated from Chitkara, with guidance & motivation from my Faculty, I went on to complete my Master’s in “Information Technology Management from Chicago”. The line which always motivated me: “You never know when you will be a human again, so do whatever you want to do. Don’t blame anyone for not achieving your dreams. Always go for what you want.” I realized what I want to do in my life. But for achieving those dreams, I struggled for my dream job and finally today I am working as “Replenishment Analyst” at “Garanimals – An American line of children’s related clothing, Retail Firm in Chicago, Illinois. With all the learning in Chitkara, now I am trying to achieve my another goal of becoming an Influencer in Society. I am so ever grateful to Chitkara for everything and now, Chitkara Alumni Network which is bringing back the sheen of Chitkara under one umbrella.

From Kotkapura (Punjab) to Chitkara and from there Concordia University, Montreal Quebec – The journey has been just so enriching and enlightening. I had the privilege of representing Chitkara in Harvard MUN, also got the chance tovisit Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for which I am indebted to Chitkara. The learning at Chitkara is such a strong foundation for any student to achieve their dreams.

Currently, I am Pursuing Master of Engineering in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Concordia University, Montreal (Quebec), Canada.

A few words from Tim McGraw’s song that I really resonate well with – … “
‘Hold the door, say please, say thank you
Don’t steal, don’t cheat, and don’t lie
I know you got mountains to climb but,
Always stay humble and kind.
When you get where you’re going’
Don’t forget, turn back around
Help the next one in line,
Always stay humble and kind.

It was a direct flight from Chitkara University to The University of Bristol, UK and it is just magical. Chitkara University gave me wings to fly, groomed me for the outer world and trained me with technical skills and here I am today pursuing Masters in The University of Bristol, UK. Besides my academics, I also got the opportunity to become the Senior Resident in one of the University halls that entitles me for so many privileges which are very limited and given to very few deserving fresher students in Campus. From the skills that I learnt during my undergrad at Chitkara University, I was able to get some freelance Technical projects. I have successfully completed 3 projects and more coming in my kitty. The World is full of opportunities and Chitkara is the key to that. Chitkara Alumni Network is the most special part of my Alma mater that keeps us connected across the Globe.

The moment I entered Chitkara University Campus, I felt like it’s a different world. Different culture, different ways of teaching & learning and most importantly, education not only limited to classrooms but in each and every inch of the campus. Wherever you go you there is some or other kind of education or learning. Chitkara gave me the opportunity to pursue my two semesters in Cologne Business School, Germany that enabled me to think of how diverse the world is and what wonders, exposure does to an individual’s career.

After successful completion of my MBA, I joined my family business with a motive of taking it to new heights and fulfil the dream of “My Grandfather and Father to make our company one of the biggest Companies in India in the field of Pesticides. At COPL Group (Crop Organics Pvt. Ltd. And Chemtech Agro Care Pvt. Ltd.) we believe in providing best quality products and that is most important to us.

Very recently, I organised our “8th Annual Distributor’s Conference” which was a huge success in Chandigarh and I owe all this to the learnings taught at CBS. I am also thankful to Chitkara Alumni Network to have me on board along with my fellow Chitkarian’s.

My life took a turn the day I stepped in Chitkara Campus two years ago. It was just like we were being chiselled by crafty miners. The frequent visits by Industry Stalwarts gave us an inside view of the Industry from classroom itself. I got an eye opening exposure when I attended Harvard MUN at Boston, USA. Just as this was not enough, I got another opportunity to attend Summer School at University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. The visit gave an insight of how the Punjabi Diaspora have made its mark on foreign soil from Politics to Business to Academics. I was fortunate enough to secure placement in Edelweiss Finance in November 2017. This month I will be completing one year in this organisation.

Chitkara University is and will always be part and parcel of our lives. Through the Alumni Network we will always be connected the way we were during University days. Thank You so much Chitkara University for transforming my life.

Chitkara changed my perspective and taught me about leading a purposeful and meaningful life besides my Academic learning. Organizing different events in Campus gave me an edge & confidence of working independently. I Got placed in Webonise through Campus Placement but wanted to be an Entrepreneur and came back to Chandigarh. I am handling our new venture “Nubz Cafe and Lounge” in Chandigarh in Sector 26. Chitkara Holds a special place in my heart and we would like to offer 15% discount to people from Chitkara Fraternity. It is nothing but just a gesture of gratitude to my Alma Mater . I am glad to connect back through Chitkara Alumni Network

Chitkara College of Engineering and Technology (Then) and the Teachers that I learnt from in College provided me an excellent platform to develop an Engineering mindset that has served me in good stead in my stints at various early and growth stage Startups in India and US. Currently I am pursuing MBA from IIM Ahmedabad . I enrolled in the B.Tech program at the college in 2003 and was taught by some truly great teachers who helped me develop an all-round personality. The Academics, Sports, and Cultural activities enabled me to enhance my overall skillset. The friendships I forged during college have enriched my life. I count the four years spent in college as some of the best years of my life. And now Chitkara Alumni Network giving us the platform to connect the dots is an amazing initiative.

Its wonderful to reconnect back and to see the efforts being made by Chitkara Alumni Network to connect the dots with the pioneer batches/ ex-students.
CIET, Now Chitkara University provided me with a platform to explore, learn and transform my persona. Experiences like launching a Youth club and organizing of Fests/Events were my first tryst with the nuances of group-working, team-leading and management. The friendships formed during college days have turned into lifelong brotherhood and the years spent at campus have become some of the most cherished memories of my life. I would like to wish the best of success and glory to all the members of Chitkara Alumni Network. I am sharing a glimpse of the most cherished time of my life and that was Chitkara.
